“The explosion mechanic is fun and used in a variety of ways throughout the game.”
“The explosions play a big role in both gameplay and design; you can use them to jump higher, move faster, lift objects, and blow up the aliens.”
“The boost run doesn't always seem to trigger properly; either that or its triggering mechanics aren't properly explained. I had many deaths due to this.”
“So far I only have under an hour of gameplay, so maybe there's more than just blowing yourself up as far as weapons go.”
“Explodemon is a pretty cool 2D platform/puzzle game with a focus on its explosion mechanic.”
